Coming off the heart-pounding, come-from-behind 35-34 victory over the University of Memphis Tigers, the No. 13 Cougars look to move to 11-0 as they head to East Hartford for a match with the 5-5 University of Connecticut Huskies.
The Huskies enter the matchup following a much needed bye week after a hard-fought 7-3 victory over Tulane, with the lone touchdown provided by a 67-yard interception return for a touchdown by sophomore corner back Jamar Summers.
An upset over the Cougars would be their sixth win of the season, making them bowl eligible for the first time since 2010, when they won a share of the Big East Championship.
